Certificate III In Engineering - Mechanical Trade
- ApprenticeshipStay at the forefront of innovation as an apprentice machinist
The Australian manufacturing sector is focused on growth through innovation, addressing labour shortages, and boosting skills in emerging areas like clean energy. According to Weld Australia, we need 70,000 more welders by 2030 to help power the renewable energy shift.
The Certificate III in Engineering (Mechanical) is an apprenticeship course that gives you hands-on industry-specific training. It also provides the opportunity to earn while you learn. On successful completion, you'll be qualified to work as a toolmaker, machinist, fitter or mechatronics tradesperson across various industries.
As an apprentice, you'll work with your employer in the industry four days a week. You'll also learn from industry-experienced teachers at our state-of-the-art engineering facilities one day a week. You'll learn about mechanical and thermal cutting, marking out, tool making, general machining, maintenance, workplace safety and more.
Our courses connect you with industry leaders such as SEMMA and Weld Australia. We also drive student excellence by participating in industry competitions such as WorldSkills and industry awards like Master Builders Awards, HIA, and EWIT. We also offer support to apprentices with their wellbeing and mental health.
Once successfully completed, you can extend your skills by studying Chisholm's Certificate IV in Engineering Technology.
